Joe is also quite pleased with
the progress that PERFECTION’S
REFLECTION is making. Now a
three-year-old, this horse looks
just like his famous sire and is go­
ing like him. A two-year-old stal­
lion by RODGERS’ PERFECTION
is realy showing the motion of a
champion. The way he is going,
Joe calls him “The Hustler,” and
that may become his official name.
He is earning it.
A Horse Show at Camp Miles
Sylvania, Clarkville, Arkansas, has
been scheduled for 4:00 p.m., April
11. This show is sanctioned by the
Mid-South Horse Show Associa­
tion. A new ampitheatre and ring
have been constructed overlooking
Lake Forsgren, which is just being
completed. In this beautiful setting
on the site of a camp dedicated
to the welfare of American youth,
this first annual horse show will
provide a real treat for the hun­
dreds who will suport it. The in­
vitation reads, “Come early and
stay late.”

Among those looking over the
horses these days are Mr. and Mrs.
Wayne T. Harris, of Olmsted Falls,
Ohio. Mr. Harris says that he will
be showing the good amateur
horse, MERRY BOY’S STAR
GOLD, for Dr. Marvin Freeman,
of Lakewood, Ohio; however, from
his interest in several really good
horses now in Middle Tennessee,
we may guess that he will also be
showing at least one other horse
this season.
